Peoples Climate Movement – Lake Merritt

ON SATURDAY, APRIL 29 DEFEND THE ENVIRONMENT – ADVOCATE FOR OUR COMMUNITIES – REJECT THE TRUMP AGENDA – WORK FOR A JUST SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR US ALL!

The Trump agenda is a threat to the future of our planet, the safety of our communities, to our jobs and economic security, and the health of our families. We will not allow the fossil fuel industry and the Trump regime to continue polluting our water, air, and soil. We will not allow attacks on immigrants, indigenous communities, communities color, women, LGBTQ, workers and the poor to continue.
